I'm working on controlling stage noise at a church. The debate has come up over putting the guitar amps off stage in a closet and micing them vs building mdf cabinets, with acoustic foam inside, hanging a Sennheiser E906 on the front and shoving the amp in the cabinet.
I've heard that isolation cabinets can create bad phase issues and comb filtering problems. Is this true? Are there ways to build the cabinet to avoid this problem? Been doing some searching on youtube and other places and it looks like everyone is firing the amp into a curved surface. Does this stop the phase issues?
What about heat? The guitar player wants to build sleek little cabinets with just a few inches of clearance all the way around. From what I am seeing this sounds like a recipe to cook an amplifier.
